THE RUN • Auto-fire combat - focus entirely on movement, dodging and positioning • 15 in-run upgrades: Spread, Multishot, Piercing, Bouncing, Homing, Orbital Shards, Phase Dash and more • Every run draws a different hand.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Go Fish! at 4.5 against Apex Drift's 4.0. Go Fish! also leads on ratings volume (455K vs 1) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). Apex Drift's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Go Fish! sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Apex Drift sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Go Fish! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Go Fish! has 455K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Go Fish! ships an update every 3 months, Apex Drift fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
